Abstract

The Baroque Era of Music lasted from about 1600 to 1750 and was known for its very fancy and complicated style. Baroque Music often had complex polyphonic patterns, which meant that different melody lines intertwined and complemented each other. Some ornaments, like trills, mordents, and other types of decoration, were essential in making the Music more expressive. Baroque artists and works include Johann Sebastian Bach, whose Brandenburg Concertos are thought to be the best of their time, and George Frideric Handel, whose oratorio Messiah is one of the most famous choir works ever written.

As new types of Music like the concerto grosso, sonata, and suite emerged, they allowed writers to try new ways to combine instruments and write Music.

[...] This ambitious and groundbreaking piece not only widened the symphony's scope and scale but also reflected the ideals of the Romantic era by praising the transcendent power of Music, unity, and the strength of people. Clearly, Beethoven was one of the most important and admired composers in Western classical music history. His Music has the power to express deep feelings and philosophical ideas.
